Yep. You should be able to change it to use ArcGIS explorer. Instead of using the previous URL, use this one.

Instead of
map.html?webmap=
Use
http://explorer.arcgis.com/?open=
If you open index.html or map.html and scroll to the bottom. you can change the code below to use your website link. The HREF attribute of the <a> anchor tag.
<div class="logoDiv footBorder"><a title="Your Logo" href="http://yourwebsite.com" class="hostedBy"></a><a href="mailto:email@yourorg">email@yourorg</a></div>
Hope that helps. Let me know if you get it working.

Sweet, it works great thanks. I wasn't putting http:// in front, but it works now.

Awesome.

In 1.4 there will be a config option to choose simple viewer, arcgis.com viewer or arcgis explorer viewer.

The initial map will not load in the carosel view. The wheel just keeps spinning....

I can't seem to figure out how to resize the footer elements. I need to bring our logo and that little border line more to the left and closer the the "About..." description.

Hi xander,

These may not be displaying because they are external applications and not web maps or the map uses a bing basemap and the bing key has not been set in the config. Do you have a URL I can inspect?

Thanks

I have two questions regarding the functionality of users viewing the template. Is there an option to make the full screen view available in the Carousel View or is this only possible in the simple map viewer through map.htm? Also, I am having trouble with layer descriptions appearing in the legend tab of map.htm. These layer descriptions display in the Carousel view, but not in the simple map viewer when a user clicks on a map from index.htm. (With the addition of descriptions appearing in the legend of map.htm will these changes be affected in the full screen view? Also, will users be able to toggle layers on/off in the full screen view? I followed code in response to cstevens5802's post.)

Also, running into errors displaying web maps that use Bing Maps base layers. I registered for a Bing Maps key and inserted this into the config.js file. Is there more to editing the config.js file than simply copy/pasting Bing Maps key between the quotes?

Designing the template to display/grade student's university lab assignments. I am encouraging the students to design purpose driven web maps with quality appeal to client-side viewing. Thanks for any help you are able to provide. URL is maps.UNOGIS

You should be able to change these by changing the grid_6 and grid_3 classes in the HTML file to adjust the size. You can get rid of the empty grid_3 and that gives you some more room to play with. Try making the grid_3 into a grid_4 and see if that helps. I'ts using the 960.gs grid system.

Unfortunately, the carousel view doesn't have a fullscreen. Only the simple viewer does.

I'll look into why those layers aren't displaying for you. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll hopefully have a fix for that soon.

Yes, pasting the Bing Maps key in the config is all you need to do to use Bing Maps. Is it not working for you?

Thank you for your response. Bing Maps key is working now, just took time I guess. If you would like to email with a response to the layer descriptions in the legend my address is jmcglade@unomaha.edu.
